“Philanthropic Adventures was a great partner for us
and an important ally in our mission
to educate younger generations for peace.
Philanthropy is not only about giving money it is also about giving your time and spreading a message. B8 of Hope and Philanthropic Adventures are very much in agreement in this approach and share many essential values.
We are so thrilled to have such an amazing partner!
What we love about Philanthropic Adventures is its philosophy and its ethics and last but not least their inspiring motto: “Because giving back and giving well is an adventure full of discovery and emotions.”
